Rossies have it all to do
The Kingdom were 0-24 to 0-10 winners over Meath in last year’s decider and a number of their squad this year have gained senior experience with John Meyler’s Christy Ring Cup winning team.
Kerry will have to plan without chief scorer Darragh O’Connell who hit 1-10 against Westmeath in that Christy Ring Cup decider as he is domiciled in the USA for the summer while minor star Padraig Boyle has also been ruled out through injury.
